Out of everyone else's hands.
Local-first. On your hardware. Under your rules.
The trade isn't necessary.
The industry built useful technology on a bad trade: capability in exchange for surveillance. Your patterns. Your behavior. Your home. You became the commodity, and the product called it innovation.
Home-automation hubs send your footage upstream. Robot vacuums map your floor plan and phone it home. AI assistants store everything you ever ask. The pattern is the same — capability bought with invasion.
CustodyZero rejects the trade. Capability and custody aren't in conflict; they were paired before someone decided to separate them for someone else's revenue.

Every CustodyZero design decision is filtered through this. If a feature serves the company providing the product more than the person using it, it doesn't ship.
